Zeyrek is a neighborhood of Fatih district in Istanbul, Turkey. It overlooks the Golden Horn, and got its name from the Mosque of Zeyrek.[1] It hosts also several Byzantine cisterns and the little Şeyh Süleyman Mosque, also of Byzantine origin.[2] It is a picturesque but poor neighborhood.
The center of Zeyrek is on the World Heritage list as part of the Historic Areas of Istanbul, the World Heritage Site.
